Ask Richard Ford a question

 

Now here's an opportunity that doesn't come round every day. The brilliant Richard Ford will be talking about his award-winning international bestseller The Sportswriter (a powerful tale about failed novelist turned sportswriter, everyman Frank Bascombe, who undergoes an emotional crisis following the death of his son) on the BBC's 'World Book Club' radio programme. The programme makers now need questions to be emailed from outside Britain, and if you’re in the UK they're looking for guests to be part of the audience in London at 16.15 at Bush House. Drop the organisers an email at worldbookclub@bbc.co.uk.
